Are they keen on doing your own design tattoos?

I've found that most are. Some tatoo artists prefer it, as they get a change from the norm. If you're unsure go and ask them, but I'm sure they'll be happy to do your own design.

Cool. I've been doodling, and to be fair people probably have something like it. I'm still adding little bits to it at the moment though.

Sounds good, as long as its clear what you want, and tell them exactly how you want it done, then it should be good. Just I've known people that had them turned out not the way they planned.

As far as I know you can, basically what Lou said.

Oo, are we allowed to see your doodles for the tattoo?

Re: Tattoo parlours? - March 3rd 2009, 04:22 PM

yeah, when i get home, i shall -

a) attempt to use the scanner
b) take a pic of it.

Just really simple though. A heart, kind of between a treble cleff? *as if its a paperclip holding it* with few stars around it. Not sure about the stars tho.

They'll gladly use your own design.
The designs on the wall are really for people that just walk in and have no clue what they want until they see it there lol.
Just be careful with your design as it can get kinda spendy.

A lot of artists like people coming in with their own designs. My dads friend is a tattoo artist and he was saying it's a breath of fresh air having a client come in who knows exactly what they're looking for.

Just be careful with the stars etc, if they're on the smaller side over the years the ink could spread out and just look like a smudge.

I like the design and even if you think it looks a bit bare... I think you should keep it simple.
Maybe you could just have a shadow?
Anyway you could always just get that design done and add more to it in the future, so dont rush a decision your not sure about.
